Jim pulled up one side of the long boat as Silver pulled the other, I sat in the middle of the boat as I watched Jim move over to Silver's side of the boat causing Silver to laugh as Jim asked innocently"You having a little trouble there?"

I laughed a bit, covering my mouth with the end of my sleeve "Get away from me" Silver playfully said as Jim moved back to his side as the two of them laughed"oh, Jimbo" Silver tide the rope onto the platform steadying the long boat as he continued"If I could maneuver a skiff like that when I was your age, they'd be bowing in the streets when I walked by today."

Silver laid back across the boat as Morph copied him"Bowing in the streets" and turned into a mini Silver, laying down. I laid back across the boat, near Jim as he tied the rope onto the platform"I don't know. They weren't exactly singing my praises when I left home."

He laid back next to me, his arm lazily swung across the edge of the boat, behind my head. Silver wiped his face with a cloth as him and Morph sighed.

"But I'm gonna change all that."

"Are you know? How so?" Silver asked as he pet Morph. Jim leaned back more"Uh....I got some plans." A smug smile grew on his face as he moved his arms, putting them behind his head"Gonna make people see me a little different." I smiled at him, but it slowly faded into a frown.

'I think he's perfect, just the way he is, why does he want to be seen different? Probably to finally please his mom. So, then, why does it slightly hurt?'

"Ooh"

Silver said as I brought my knees up, looking off to the side a bit. "Sometimes plans go astray."

"Not this time."

'Maybe it's because, in reality, I never really want to go home. He has a loving mom who cares about him. And what do I have? A drunkie for a dad, and a mom who's dead, I have nothing at home. Other than Jim.'

I stared at my arms a bit, tugging the sleeves further down as I bit my lip, trying to stop myself from crying.

"Hmm. (N/n)"

I quickly lifted up my head, pushing my thoughts out of my head best I can. "Y-Yeah?" I cleared my throat"What is it?"

"I can't help but to notice how quiet you've been, normally you'd say something about how Jim was a looser"

Jim glared at Silver as he chuckled"Jokingly of course" I smiled a bit and shook my head"I was just thinking that's all"

"What about?"

I looked over at Jim to see a worried look on his face, as if he knew it was something bad. I threw on a smile and ruffled his hair"Don't worry about it" he quickly fixed his hair and grabbed my hands giving me a serious look"(Y/n), I'm serious, please tell me, you always seem like your hiding something and whenever I ask my mom she always changes the subject. She obviously knows about whatever it is, so why can't I?"

I glared at him, ripping my hands out of his grasp"It's just non of you concern James, so drop it." He widened his eyes, I only use his real name when I'm being serious, he stayed quiet after that.

"Well.."

Silver said as he picked up his mechanical leg, placing it on the seat in front of him. Lifting up his pant leg, he tried to undo the bolt with his hand, as he struggled morph turned into a wrench. Silver grabbed him while saying"Oh, thank you morph" as he loosened the bolt with the wrench, Jim was the first to speak up"So, Uh, how'd that happen anyway?"

Silver lifted up his robotic hand, moving it around as he answered"You give up a few things chasing a dream." I sat up straight as I asked"Was it worth it?" He chuckled a bit and moved over next to me, putting his arm behind me and Jim.

"I'm hoping it is, (N/n)"

He brought his hat down on his head as me and Jim laid our heads back against his arm.

"I most surely am."
